Bottle from Darby’s Liquor Store, Vancouver
Golden color, clear, with medium sized head. Aroma of grain and vegetables. Sweetish mouthfeel, moderate mild flavor; they chose the wrong yeast, the one used in North America that produces estery sweet beers with no Belgian character; there is a fruity touch, it wouldn’t be tropical anyway, more like yellow stone fruits; and the bitterness is too low.
Mediocre beer with a high price tag (6$ after they opened the Advent Calendar box).

355 ml bottle. Pours a clear dark gold with very little head. Light aromas of candied fruit and toasted malts with a hint of Belgian yeast. Flavors of candied fruit, apples, light resin, and coriander. No hint of the ABV and actually quite pleasant for an easy drinking saison. 11

Slightly hazy amber. No head. The aroma is kind of plasticy, the wrong direction of Belgian phenols. No hop or fruit or anything good like that. Sweet, plasticy character of phenols and alcohol. Some peachy esters, but nothing all that tropical, and not Belgian either. Just not managing that yeast well, and it comes up pretty unappetizing. I had a pretty good tripel from these guys in Rio a couple of years ago, so this one is disappointing.

Bottle - Orange, fruity esters, yeasty notes and some light spice. Clear orange gold with almost no head. Grassy, fruity esters and very dry. Herbal notes on the finish. Not sure what I was expecting in a Christmas saison, but I would have thought some spices.
